The Doctor business is hurting just as bad as the Piloting business right now. The take-home pay for those $300K doctors is approaching Airline pilot pay, and will look even worse if they all end up working for the government-run medical system someday as a GS-13. The cost-benefit on Med School is getting as bad as getting your ratings with double the time investment, student loans till you're 48 years old, and the familiar $30,000 entry-level wages.
But if you want to be a Doctor or Pilot, Military is the way to go. We even have some who are both (Flight Surgeon and rated pilot)...student loan debt = 0, starting pay $60K-100K.
